Only Shane Long’s goal for Southampton against Wolves in April 2019 has come in quicker time – that one taking just 7.69 seconds.

Arsenal had needed a reaction after seeing Man City beat Newcastle in the early game to close the gap at the top.

But Mikel Arteta’s side exactly how they wouldn’t have wanted with the rapid-fire goal.

Straight from the Bournemouth kick-off, Dango Ouattara was allowed to fly down the right flank, cut insides onto his left and cross into the box.

Gabriel couldn’t clear and William Saliba was asleep – allowing Philip Billing to sweep home and stun the crowd.

The Emirates crowd could not quite believe what they were seeing and things went from bad to worse when Leandro Trossard hobbled off injured after just 20 minutes.

That injury will be a further blow to Mikel Arteta after Eddie Nketiah was injured in training this week.
